About Vasant Ramabadran
Vasant Ramabadran is CTO at Stealth Startup. Location: Cupertino, California, United States.
I have been involved in artificial intelligence, deep learning, large scale hardware/software systems and distributed algorithms for the past 19 years. I introduced three new hardware accelerators and grew them to market dominance quickly in the past few years. Very successful in building, hiring, and growing teams to elite status. I currently lead a global team of researchers, software, and system engineers, in developing an AI based hardware/software/compiler stack for hardware acceleration products, using custom processors as well as FPGAs. I have been deeply involved in the system architecture and the algorithmic software stack for these products and hold several patents on these. A few claims to fame: Industry's fastest distributed compiler for hardware based verification. Industry's fastest large scale FPGA based hardware acceleration platform. https://www.deepchip.com/items/dac19-01a.html https://www.google.com/search?q=palladium+z1&tbm=isch https://www.google.com/search?q=protium+x1&tbm=isch and the industry's fastest time to value platform: https://youtu.be/uKL4a8K-h2M https://youtu.be/2UiwGkLxWko My current research focus is to leverage deep learning for combinatorial optimization, end to end automation, self updating and continuous learning models.
